• Support release planning, retrospectives, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Report progress to senior leadership and clients through structured project updates.

What You’ll Bring

• At least three years of project management experience in software development or technology delivery.

• Ideally, two or more years of domain experience in travel, air transport, or trip management technology.

• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile methodologies, and familiarity with DevOps and CI/CD practices.

• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, ITIL, or Agile) preferred.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills at all levels.

• Calm, structured approach to managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• Proficiency with cloud-based project management tools such as Jira, Trello, Smartsheet, or Asana.

Why This Role?

• Be part of a pioneering organisation driving digital innovation across global travel.

• Work closely with leading aviation and travel clients in the Middle East.

• Join a dynamic, collaborative team that values initiative and accountability.

• Competitive salary and benefits, with clear opportunities for career progression.

• Flexible location across the Middle East, with regular time spent on-site in Riyadh.
